Bourbon Heritage Month: bourbon & drink recipe discoveries

New Orleans Bartender Examiner, Marigny deMauriac picks up a Reader inquiry: is bourbon gluten-free? With so much riding on the answer, wouldn’t you like to know? Marigny will even tell you the difference between bourbon and whiskey if you care to take the time.

 

Now ain’t that a daisy?! Austin Bartender Examiner, Adrianne Gallatin, writes about the Make it yourself: Whiskey Daisy using Chartreuse and Grenadine. Adrianne doesn’t stop with just the recipe. She gives valuable information about Yellow versus Green Chartreuse in this cocktail and where to go to get a great homemade Grenadine recipe. Homemade is definitely the way to go!

 

What happens when you take a little bit of this and a little bit of that and put it all together? You know you’ve done it. I have too. So did LA Cocktails Examiner, Aaron Vanek, just in time for Bourbon Heritage Month. Take a look at the Peach Pink Lemonade Cocktail using Jim Beam Black with a suggestion for sweetening with a little something Southern… Aaron has an affinity for creating cocktails. Take a look at his Homemade Cocktail Recipe section for what you won’t find anywhere else.

 

With all that Examiner.com writers have to say about Bourbon Month, wouldn’t it be nice to hear what experts in the field have to say about a few bourbon favorites, too? You’re in luck! The bourbon photo slide show below contains tasting notes, ratings and what industry leaders have to say about favorites such as George T. Stagg, Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, Sazerac, Weller and Pappy Van Winkle.
